No need to hang your head, I am still trying to catch up with blog posts I missed while in the Adirondacks for two weeks almost a month ago! :-) I am a regular reader of UpFront and often find posts here that I recommend in my weekly &quot;Saturday Serendipity&quot; series.

With my head hanging, I have to admit that your posts of the last two weeks (in very good company with about 200 posts by other bloggers) are in my queue &quot;to read&quot; and that I have yet to read that particular one. For those who haven&#39;t checked out John&#39;s blog here is the post he refers to, http://filiopietismprism.blogspot.com/2013/08/when-all-paper-is-gone-what-will-we.html! <br /><br />And, I have &quot;now&quot; read it John ... nice when we muse about the same genealogical topics.<br /><br />As always, thanks for sharing.

I mused about this and the demise of the paper-based record format of our ancestors in an August 20th post at Filiopietism Prism The paper-based format of the lives of our forebears ruled for many centuries and where those paper-based records today, they are accessible by us today in exactly the same way they were for our ancestors (language and writing syle aside). I am not so sure this will be the case for the electrons we now use to create and store our records. This is why (to be prudent and cautious) I am taking a lesson from some of my fellow genealogy bloggers and going to the effort to also preserve my blog and its posts in the ancient, but easily accessible, paper-based format called a book. :-)John D.
